Forward slash the Big for Society and now let's get on with the show. All right, Big for Society by the privilege of talking to Kyle today. Kyle's an individual that reached out to me through emails listener from Webster County, Kentucky, which looking at my map, that looks like we're in the western part of Kentucky today. But it's a pleasure to have you on the show.

0:54 Kyle. How's it going. For good? How about you? Oh? Having a great laid back Friday, just just chilling out and I'm excited that we finally we're able to get you on the show. There are a few roadbumps along the way on my side, but thanks for being patient with me on that. And you know what, Kyle, I'm glad you're here. Feel free to go ahead and take us back to where we need to be. And how things started with you getting involved with bigfoot activity. Yes, sir, it started back when I was about say twelve or thirteen. I'm thirty thirty now, but I've always been in the hunting and I've done every kind of hunting you can do. I grew up doing it. I loved the coon hunt was a major thing in my house.

1:43 Me and my dad always coon hunted. And but they time I got twelve thirteen years old, dad had quit. He decided then I was old enough, and he had liked to lay back on his chair after he got home from work. He worked in the coal mine for several years, and so that's how it got going. I had went out one night, I'm gonna go hunting. A place called number seven is uh And if anybody's listening, and it was from around home, don't know what I'm talking about. It used to be an old coal mining camp years ago back in the early nineteen hundreds. It blew up, but there's still pieces of old equipment out there, and this and that CoA Slack Hills stuff like that.

2:29 And the dad he would let me take whatever road work VEHICLEY had, whether it be a car, truck, van, and I would go, and a lot of nights so of my friends would go with me, sometimes they wouldn't, And the chicks of the night I went, didn't none of my friends go. Couldn't you nonhing to go? So I decided just to go by myself and go out there and say if I had any luck. And then the dog. We started out there, went down the old gravel road and there's three bridges out there, and that's where the woods initially starts. Just passed the first bridge. I pulled in there and got out. Of course, it was dark, got the dog out, and I always walked my dogs up in the woods before I cut them loose, and felt like any other night, and cut him loose, walked up in there. Took him a minute, and he started tracking and I was just listening to him going down through her, and all of a sudden he started getting real hot. Thought he was going to free the coon there pretty quick, and then a bunch of coldies opened up, which there was a lot of coldies out out in that area, and typically any of the dogs I've ever had, coldies get up on him, get close to him, they'll stop running, you won't hear him bark no more, and then'll mess him up for a little bit,

4:00 and then usually Colodi's gone and they take back off tracking. So he was running pretty good and I was walking up in there and I found a little clearing type area where the trees wasn't as thick, there wasn't as many saplings, there wasn't a lot of growth on the ground, and I sat down there against a tree. They was all spread out, pretty mature trees, probably not a limb for twenty feet. But I sat down there, turned my light out, and then the colodies opened up on him and he went quiet. I didn't think much about it other than they were really close and the figure when they got done chasing him around that he picked back up.

4:49 I'm sitting there with my light off, just listening, leaning against that tree, and I kept hearing something sounded like it was circling me, and I kept let then because I've heard many people say it with their encounters mean by us. Ever hunted, you can tell the difference between something that's on two legs or four legs. You hear squirrels and this and that, russell and deer's walk, you know, bears this and that. But turn around and they didn't sound like that, sound like something on two legs circling me about forty fifty yards out. I thought it was just my mind playing tricks on me, because on when I was young and two. It's just one of the things, hunting, eating deer, hunting, getting to stand early for daylight. You set there your eyes and play tricks on you. Sometimes you'll thank you hearing things. Really it's nothing, I thought, man, ain't no sense in getting the wheel, as you know, just just over thinking that mine's playing tricks on you.

5:57 So I hung tight, and it would go a little bit and stop, and go a little bit and stop. I ended up flipping my light on the course looking and I didn't see that. Of course, the dogs still silent this point and told you to shut up, And all of a sudden, at once it sounded like the tree top exploded, big tall trees, like I'm saying, I limb for twenty something feet and the thingbody's ever walked up on turkey's roosted and they fly off it. If you can imagine the biggest group of turkeys you've ever walked up on in your life flying off. And the whole tree top was just rocking, And of course I jump up and I hit looking, and at first I thought turkeys. I thought, no, not turkeys, because I heard it hit the ground and it sounded like you'd run halfway around me and go up another tree, and that tree would get the rattle. Like I said, I was out there by myself and my car was parked on of a road. I thought this is probably Dad had come out here playing the trick on me, and I hollered, hey, who is it? It ain't funny the whole spield and nobody ever answered back. It stopped for a second, and then you could hear it jump when it hit the ground, and he'd run around and do another one. And I finally got to looking and it hit me, these are big truths. Ain't no way anybody's climbing up there. But

7:33 I had a twenty two long rife on my hands, or the ten shot magazine in it, so I racked one back in there, and I was like, hey, I don't know who you are, what you're doing. If you plan, I'm over this, come out, go on whatever. Well, I don't want to shoot. It wasn't but a few seconds. I heard the stepping, never did see nothing. I heard the step into this quick and it was up the tree wet and started rattling. So I pointed in the general direction up in the tree. Of course, big full tree rattling, pulled the trigger, still rattling, hit the ground, ran around with up the med one I saw. I shot again and again, and I got thanking in my mind.

8:21 Oh man, this ain't somebody out here pranking me. If this was anybody pranking me, I know what I would do. Somebody got to shooting. Oh hold, wait a minute, what I'm just playing. Nobody done that. And whenever it would jump, you could hear it hit the ground and take off. And of course the dog came in because it heard the shooting. And the meantime, I couldn't never get the dog to come in. I was shooting her, and it thought I shoot the train so it would come in to the gunshots. He come in and I was never so happy to see that dog in all my life when he came in. So I snapped him up and was trying to walk out of the woods, and he would go about two steps with me, turn around behind me and just lunch lunch hair bristled up all over teeth shone, and I said, that's a coon dog. And they got a good play drive. And I've sent him quite many a coon and never seen the hair stand up on him like that. Ever, I've never actually seen a coon dog like that, really shouldered teeth, and I mean he was full out to bristle and ready to go.

9:39 And like I said, I was twelve thirteen years old. It's about all I wanted to that dog and a gun and the other hand and a lot on my head trying to get him out there. And I take that two or three steps, and he followed me and he'd shoot behind me like there was something behind us. And by the time we finally got the road, I literally drug him out and didn't get to see whatever it was. It was in the trees. And it was until this next part when I kindly found out what it was. Of course, got in the vehicle, drove home, scared to death told I didn't know if I want to tell my dad or not really, because you know, he was one of them guys that he didn't believe in a that, and he'd swore them down. It was somebody messing with them there, and he picked and made fun because he did later on down the road when I told him. But so I told some people and they like, yes, it's pretty wild, but they always looked at you like you got crazy. And so after that encounter, that was my first real encounter. And I had another one a couple of years later down the road when I was old enough to drive out on a white Oak stretch, and it was the same deal without the leaves, without the trees and deals, and I had people with me and that place out on White Oak, we would go hunt. You know, Jean seventeen, you had to walk

11:10 by a half mile down a road bed out after you parked at the gate Woods on both sides going toward the river. And some night you going there and you wouldn't have the feeling you were being watched. Some night you go in there and you just have that in knse feeling, and not only that feeling, but you'd be walking down through her, and you could hear something tracking you most time to all right, there's hills and cliffs in that area, a little more stony, and you could hear it. You'd walk it walk, you'd stop, it'd stopped. But every now and then, my buddies, you hear that. You hear that? I said, yeah, I hear it, And we'd come up with a plan, Hey, let's walk, and all of a sudden stop and we'd walk, stop, and you'd hear it. Take that extra step every now and then.

12:00 And supposedly there was a mountain lion in that area or something caught on trail camera by some of hunters, but it wasn't nothing on four legs. You could clearly sound like if you were walking next to him in the woods and you was watching me, and I stopped and you stopped, and you could hear it. One two. That wasn't far from my first encounter, but when I actually ended up seeing it was at number seven. On this next encounter, I was twenty three or so. But then then I had a little girl and was living there in play and my daughter's cousin come over and we was gonna go coon hunting, which we hunted together.

12:46 A lot. He was older. He's actually my wife's first cousin. I'm just gonna leave his name out of it because I don't know if he wants it told or not. We're big and hunting. We hunted fish every chance we got, and he never hunted Number seven. And we was planning on Gone Codi hunting, and his wife and mine was at our house and they were standing the night and they had a young daughter, and we were making a bunch of racket football game and went off and they said, won't you go to the store just a pack of cigarettes? Okay, so when do that? And I told him, I said, hey, then you ain't never been out by there. I said, we'll go out to number seven see if we can hear some coyotes, because we was playing on Gone Cody hunting next morning, and we got the cigarettes and we started driving out there. The other road in to number seven is it goes by a subdivision and it goes out between these fields. Of course, it was fall one a time fields was done gleaned in the road sits probably fifteen feet up off the field. We were driving down thither. As I'm sitting there driving and I see these big blue eyes. And I've heard people say it on other shows group podcasts, look like fence post reflectors.

14:11 That's the bigs, just blue reflecting back at me. But it was in the very corner of my beam of my headlights. So I pulled the truck over toward the ditch, toward the drop off there on the left, and I'm looking at it. But there's a slight heel that comes up and goes down. There's two little eyes out in front of it, and it kept moving, which ended up being a coon. But the thing with the big blue eyes reflecting back stopped when the lights said it. It just stopped all because he was blue eyes and they looked close to the ground because they was sitting behind the hill, and I didn't recognize that at first, and be cousin, he's color blind. So I'm trying to explain him whether I'm seeing these eyes because he can't send them because he's chinaby. And I'm setting there pointing, trying to show them, getting aggravated because he can't send them.

15:14 And I look over at him and I'm pointing, I'm like, you don't see them eyes, And by the time his jaw dropped me, he said what is that? And I turned my head and looked, still pointing, and it had stood up from behind that little hill. Big for society will be right back after these messages. And all you could see was from about to waist up, maybe down a little further, and it was bigfoot if there was one ever, And this thing was huge. It's hard to put in inform how big it is, because we was probably a good God, I don't want to get the distance all, but if I had to guess, maybe one hundred and fifty two hundred yards away, and when it stood up from behind that hill, it was monstrous.

16:23 It looked like the biggest guy you've ever met for football pads on in a big Gillie suit or something. But it didn't have no neck, and that's another thing that I've seen has been true. It looked like a square head or block setting on shoulders and didn't look like I had no necks, and it was all shoulders and shoulders looked like they were four or five foot wide. And that's ron Zad right. There was thick. It was huge, and it would hunker back down blow that hill for a second, and it'd stand back up count or probably last it oh, I don't know, five six minutes and it would stand back up. Well, just wouldn't move out of the light. I don't know why, but it didn't want to didn't want to veer away from the light.

17:18 And we was both in the shop. Matter of fact, they stood there long enough that I said, let's get out of the truck and see if it moves. I said, just easy, door open. So we both started getting out of the truck and these doors open. They just stood there and he told me, he said, what is that? I said, because I said, you know what that is. You can look at that until it is I said, it looks like a big foot. He said, I know. He said, I can't believe it. And he said, I'll tell you what. Who said, I'll sit right here at the truck. Why don't you walk out there and see what it is? I said, no, I ain't going nowhere, Bud.

18:03 I'm not a little guy at all means, especially with that time. I was probably about sixty one, about two forty. I was pretty good size. But I wasn't willing to walk out there. And I made it fast to face and it was close to the old cemetery that was just right off the road because out there at number seven you'll run that black top road and it turned the gravel, but it's got a tea there. The right goes that old farm field. The left will take you back around and back toward town. And straight ahead, we'll take you down that gravel road to them three bridges. I was talking about where I stopped and hunted that.

18:45 Get back in the truck, and I tell him, I said, now, I don't go ahead and put it in and drive. I said, you just hold on. I said, I'm just gonna gun it. All of a sudden, I'm just gonna punch it. I said, well, hang that left real quick, I said, so we'll get a better view of it. He's okay. So I sat there and all of a sudden, at once, I just punched it. Hung that left, pulled up in that field. Gone. While I stay gone. I mean it was gone. It had to be fast, ungodly fast. There wasn't no way for a man in a suit or anybody like that to evade you, because it wasn't nothing but a field wide open. And rode all the way around the field, and you could see across the field wasn't that big, but it wasn't tiny neither. And when we hung that left and pulled up in there, it was gone so instantly I drove on out in the field or the truck beams on high flashlights half window couldn't say it, and you could see plumb into the other end of the field with the lights. It was gone, just absolutely gone, and just really blew my mind on how big it was. It was just monstrous.

20:06 And if I had to guess on how tall we'd probably seen I don't know, five foot five and a half foot of it from up behind that little hill, so there ain't on chann how tall was it. It probably eight and the half nine foot tall. But it was a grayish color, like a dark gray kind of color, but looked like I had white tones to it. And it was just a whole wild experience there that and then later on down the road after seeing that, and I told everybody about that, and they just thank you, crazy laugh at you. But some people believed it. Later on, my dad ended up believing in it. He had an encounter that changed his whole view on stuff like that, and it wasn't no longer laughing funny or a joke.

21:02 He finally got to taking it serious, and years down the road there, I want to take my little cousin squirrel hunting. And this is just a little side story, and it ain't very long, ain't much to it, but I took him hunting, squirrel hunting, and we were in pool, turned around, got to look and was walking down his field line, his tree line, and got out behind their house. In these fields, there's a huge grudge it. It runs down through there and big enough that you drop S ten in it. And I see the s ten. God dropped it off in there one day and we never seen it until he climbed up on the bank. But we walked down it hunting it, and we got to the end of it, and it kind of yilled. Well.

21:49 I was just standing there looking and I thought, man, this pretty good spot. I see Granted's house, see the neighbor's farm in their house when the other neighbors down the road. But they can't really because I've been at their houses and looked back that way. Really can't see back that way. I don't know why, but you can't. And when we were walking back down the edge of that other ditch that run to the field, I mean, I astid. It was a huge footprint, and I wear sized thirteen boots, and I said, it was cold. It spit snow, and I was looking at the print. I put my boot up next to it as a reference, and it was probably half inch you go in now, half inch higher than I met, longer than my boot, and probably I don't know, probably two inches wider, and it was the impression in the ground was probably about a good three inches. And I thought, man, I don't know who to be running around out here barefoot. It's cold.

22:50 So I stepped next to it with my boot and jumped on one leg and pressed down and see what kind of pressure I could make. The ground had been so cold I didn't even make a didn't need to make a print really, and maybe sixteenth of inch or something, so whatever, it was heavy, and I got to look in at it had just squared off toes. It was wide at the front, got you know, a little more in there at the back, not a whole lot. And then after I seen that, of course I didn't say nothing to him because he was just a kid. He was probably eight years old, and he'd probably been scared there for it to go home. But we started walking back seeing that, and just so happens. I looked on the ditch as we was going down throughs said, if I could see any more prints, I've never seen no more footprints by seeing a parcel hamprint and just a monstrous wide and big hand, long fingers. I climbed down in the ditch and put my hand up to it, and mine looked like a toddler's hand next to a grown man's. And it's just crazy that when things are out there, and the more I listened to and read, of course, I'm just doing on these people. I've got to experience a lot of things in my life, a lot of things that they say, he's not real. I'm not going to try to get out there on that, but I don't want to sound crazy, but it's just

24:21 doing them things. It's like the new house I'm living in back there behind the house, because it's sure sounded, you know, not too many weeks ago that her growling dogs just losing their minds back there, got the new Citicun dogs. Now, I got out of this a little bit, but my kids are getting older, so I decided to get back into it and try to use that to introduce them into hunting and between what kind of looks like structures I've seen on the podcast and stuff, and i'd have swore, but I'm not going to tell you. I did see one back there come pulling up by my aunt had left my house. She was pulling out.

25:04 I was pulling in, and it just got dark, and when I pulled up my driveway, my lights hit back there by my chicken coop and my barn, and it looked like one was back turned walking back into the woods. And at first that's what went to my mind, and I got to look and I thought, no, it's just tree branch moving. I sat there and washed, and I thought all that wasn't And there's just several several like areas just rutted plumb up back there, and pre structures, and it's it's pretty wild, and there's I've seen some pretty wild stuff back here. My dad had seen some pretty wild things here. The dogs, they act nuts most of the time. And then the only other thing is right after I sent you the pictures, I just fed my dog and walked back there and took them pictures in that video and send it in. And then I walked in the house, got a trash bag. Was gonna pick up a few things around the yard. I've got six kids, three boys, three girls. My middle son, he come outside and it was gonna help me. And we're sitting there picking it up. And I looked up and there's my dog. She's loose and she's in a pen in which when I feed her, I don't have to open her kennel door. And it was locked, redbo kennel locked and the lock tight. So I told him go

26:38 in the house. I got her and I was walking back here to put her up, just picked her up, was packing her, and I thought, I had you get out, you pop that door open, whatever, And I noticed the door was still on the inside. It wasn't that she pushed up on it and pushed it out. It was still inside. And I got over to it and went to put her in there and went to shut it, and I got to look at the lock and the lock was bent, bent like crazy, just bent all the pieces and couldn't get to clothes. Tried to pry it, tried to pry out on the tubes to slip it in there, just to hold her in there. Latch figured I'd fight getting the latch open another time, but finally got it to close, and there's a big hole toward the top part. Like I said, I don't I ain't gonna say that's one there, But there's been several nights up in the back there messing with the dogs or messing with the chickens out in the barn, and it almost sounds like them other encountered. I was saying, you can hear it sounds two feet moving just in the brush, because it's pretty thick right there where it comes up near my property, and then it tends out just to touch and you get inside. But that's about all I got as far as them encounters other than my dad.

28:06 He had that encounter I remember seven the same place I tell you about, and it was thrown cut up logs at him and another fellow that was out their arrowhead hunting, and they were landing out in this pond, probably I don't know. He said about halfway across it to three quarters, which I wasn't there. And I don't see why Dad would lie to me about that. He ain't much on telling tall tales, never has been. Like I said, he forever laughed at people and picked at people anytime they brought up big foot or aliens or goods or anything like that, he'd have a field day messing with him. But but that's about all I got.

28:51 That's some incredible stuff, Kyle. Thank you for sharing that. I want to point out I definitely have some questions for you, but I want to point out that looking at a map, just for listeners to get a feel of where this county is, it's about an hour or so north of Land between the Lakes, and it's less than an hour east of the whole Shinee National Forest in southern Illinois roundabouts. Yes, sir, so it is in an area where it's not out of the question that you probably have some wild stuff going on, and probably not just bigfoot, probably other stuff too. But yes, sir, yes, sir, and I believe that. So how big were these logs that were getting chucked?

29:33 I think he said they were probably, I don't know, about two and a half three foot. I think somebody had went out there and was shutting some trees that it had failed, and they wasn't old, but they were cutting them up and using firewood. It wasn't him, but he said when they went out there, he said, because there was a little road bed that you can go down. It's just old farm road, ain't gravel or nothing, that leads down in between the woods. And there's two lakes, one on either side of that road. Didn't go up in the woods when you take that road. And he said you could see where they'd been cutting around that lake a little bit, not clearing things out, but cutting up some of the down trees and was cutting it in size, probably putting the wood burner or stove.

30:16 Big for society who would be right back after these messages. They hadn't had it split. It was still whole logs, some of them probably I don't know, ten inches around, some of them probably closer to twenty. Just cut up down through there. And he said it was getting about dark and he was out there. The guy that was with him had split off from him. He said, I didn't know where he had went. And that said, next thing I know, he said, I heard this this. He explained it like a roar, and he said, I've never quite heard nothing like it. He said, your niece had played some videos for me, had I said something, and she wasn't there with him. She was just sending to him on his phone or let him listen, and he saw that's what that sounded like. And she said, what, PA thought, that's what they've had of some video of whatever of a big foot. But he said, I don't know about that, he said, but I don't know what else it could have been. He said, because the logs were coming out of the woods, and he said, I don't know how long. He said. They were about midway up the trees when they come whipping out. He said, if you've ever whipped a stick, he said, you hear that, you know, like you throwd one. He said, that's what

31:46 I heard first, he said. I was probably fifty sixty yards from the pond, he said, and then wham splash, wam splash. He said, So whatever it was had to be really slinging them to get it to come through the trees. He said, you know, I had to kill momentum making it fight going through them branches. He said, it was still landing halfway out in the pond, almost three quarters way across the pond. He said, it was really chucking them. And the guy that ended up men with him bad finally just took off and left. After he hollered for him a few times, went back to the car. That guy finally showed up. He said, Hey, and this is funny because that guy ain't never done much hunting, not knocking on nobody. That ain't what he was like, did you hear them beavers? Asked, what do you mean hear them beavers? He said, Then beaver's jumping out of them trees in that pond, he said, Bud, he said, beavers don't be jumping out of trees into the pond. He said, they cut the trees down. He said, their tails don't smack their tails and stuff. He said, but they don't jump out of trees. And the pond he said, there was lost men thrown and that guy.

32:53 So I didn't know what was going on. That's incredible. That's one of the wildest things I've ever heard. But it's it's true though. Our mind goes to the wildest places to try to logically explain away what we are experiencing during these times. So not out of question that he came to a conclusion like that. Incredible. Yeah, this whole number seven coal mine camp area, this abandoned place. It sounds like it's not on any map, right. No, sir, if you want to look up wester County and look up Clay, Kentucky. There'd be a Taylor Street be on the map, or Williams Clay Road. You follow that out and you'll see it. You'll see the kind of tea I'm talking about. And to turning the fields.

33:43 And if you get on a really old map or a map that kind of pulls up old maps, there'll be a little town or used to be a little town next to it called Williams Station, another town called Heron They's sit right there. But yeah, and another little fun fact, I was a by number seven when I was a kid. So that's why I was so shocked when there was something like that that I seen out there, because, like I said, I grew up my whole life hunting out there, playing riding full Wheller's camp and done the most. My house that I lived in when I grew up was actually one of the only ones left. There was one other one left, but it was still at number seven, and mine was the only one that really survived. Was one of the camp houses with them guys that worked at the mine lived in. When the mine blew up and they had cleared some of that up. The guy back in the old day had moved that house into town from outside of town after the camp in town, and Dad ended up with it and we remodeled it several times and lived there till I was plumb out of high school.

34:50 Thank you for providing really specific information about that area. It would be very interesting if individuals listening from that area, because I'm sure we've got people listening from around that area as well, if they have also had encounters in that same area. And I do want to take a few minutes to address some things. YouTube has changed the way they hold on to comments. It used to be really easy for me to go through all of them and not miss any of them. Unfortunately, now is no longer the case. It is very hard for me to take primitive control of the comments and read everything. So if guys, if you have had something happen in this area that's being referred to, please email me directly at Bigfoot Society at gmail dot com. I would love to talk to you as well. Your siting is really interesting, just the fact alone that you had a five to six minute encounter. While most people are lucky if they get a few seconds, that is such a long time.

35:53 Yes, sir, it was locked up. They had lots frozen. I don't know why, and I don't know if he was going to eat that little crew well what But when he froze up in the headlights that came just kept on moving. You mentioned it had a square head that was like a block, no no neck, And I've heard a few people say a square head description, which is interesting. If you were to think of an object that would normally be in your house, was that head that you saw the size of any object that you would have in your house? I would say, uh, I'd say it's probably about the size of From that distance I was at, I would say, uh, mop bucket, five growing bucket maybe if you probably cut two or three inches off the lad From that distance, it was just incredibly huge. That's something I never could get over.

36:53 Oh man, that really puts it into into respective for sure. There too at have that encounter for so long. Was it at the point where you were able to get a good look at the face, get any details scene about that. No, sir, as it's such a I wasn't super far away, but I wasn't right up on him either, And like I said, and half of him or a little less was behind that little hill that he hadn't crested up over it, and it was just mainly from the waste area up. And like I said, his arms, he had long arms. I don't know if they would have completely hung down to his knees or not, because he didn't quite have him down that far. What I can remember of it is he kind of had him bent slightly and it was almost like when he crouched and he stood up, he still had him bent. He would come back midway up for a second and he'd stand up and he looking and standing there, and then after thirty seconds so he would ease back down and then all you see was the blue eyes reflecting and you would think, all he's gone, and then he'd stand back up. I don't know why he didn't move to this day. He just stood there. But his arms I could tell in his arms they were well muscled. His shoulders he was

38:26 just huge and wide. And you hear people talking about all their shoulders and their arms with the arms comes into the shoulders kind of looked like they had like bowling balls up there or something. Over you could tell the definition and roundness of the muscle. That's how this was from a distance. I didn't see thee muscles per se. You're looking at the man and you see the different muscle groups, nothing like that because of the distance. But you could tell you at that distance that it was well muscled up. You could see like the round on the shoulders and then how wide the shoulders were. Like said, it didn't look like I had a neck. It looked like you just took the big squares in the block head and just dropped it down on them shoulders. Not saying that it's headset forward any or anything like that.

39:09 I've heard people talk about that. It just looked like he had no neck. And like I said, the fur on him, or word you're gonna call it, the hair looked like I don't know, it was probably that distance. I'm trying to wrap my brain on it. And I sat and thought about it before. It had to probably be three inches long. I'd say, maybe you could tell he was shake but you couldn't exactly tell how long it was. And like I said, well, the headlights on him and then being in white colored kind of headlights, he had a grass look about him, but it almost looked like he had highlights. You'd almost say, like white if that makes sense. And it may have been a different color if it was and white headlights, that white blue looking headlights that was only he may have been a darker color or even lighter. I don't know, but in my mind that's what I remember. And I came here for this one of your podcasts, like I said, another one, And I know people are having these sightings out there because, for instance, I've heard people talk about, like you said, head looked like it was just sitting on pair of shoulders, like no neck. The eyes heard heard the instance from man was talking about the eyes reflecting back blue like on a fence post. That's why I got that from that, that reference because when it when the dude said that, it set in with my

40:41 thoughts is exactly what looked like. It looked like them round markers at the end of people's driveways or on old fence posts, just reflecting book like that big. Did you smell anything that was out of the ordinary during that. No, sir, okay, of course I was a good thief from him, I couldn't. I uh, but even smelling from the distance, I don't think unless when going away, but I know I didn't I smell it. I think it's a shop that I probably my senses was probably an overload anyhow, and every day you come across something like that, it's definitely stuck with me. I think about stuff like that now when I ease out in the wood.

41:23 Did this sighting affect you in any way afterwards? Did you start to have things happen that were out of the ordinary or anything like that. Like I said, I've always you know, and and not trying to get onto other subjects and stuff, but I don't know, it's always seemed like ever since I've been little, I've had weird things happened, weird things go on, whether it's woods, home spot and stuff which is is off subject some paranormal stuff. I'm not gonna really, you know, say a whole lot on that, but I've had paranormal kind of encounters and stuff like that. Matter of fact, one out number seven and it was with my dad, And that's what kind of changed my dad to you on everything really, And maybe I can share that with you if we had more time or maybe another time.

42:20 That was probably one of the wildest things there that ever happened to me. To be honest, I think in this case, I do try to keep things focused on Bigfoot, but I think in this case it may help flesh out what's going on in this particular area if you have some time to share it. Yes, sir, yeah, I do. In mind you. When I talked about number some coal mines which I had the granddad that worked there, there was many, of course, families around and others, and it blew up and it killed a bunch of men. It was one of the largest coal mining disasters in the United States one point for long as I can't remember how many men lost their lives and they never come up. And then I had that house. Of course it was from out there, so I don't if I was always drawed there or what.

43:13 But one day me and Dad had went out and yet again it's cooler out. Of course, a lot of hunting seasons are when it gets cooler out. And we had been walking to the wood that day, more or less just getting out, but we took the rifles with us when case seen some squirrels or something like that, and I said, Dad wouldn't believe or none of that. Dad believing in the Good Lord. That's it. And we'd been out most of the day and was walking back right about actually, probably three hundred yards from that pond.

43:53 I was telling you about what the logs had been thrown. And we're walking out and it gets picked where you go come in the boods at And we're walking out there. Me and Dad's just talking and I'm looking around, looking down, watching where I'm stepping. So I step on snake, and all of a sudden I heard Dad's voice change. He said, I said what what? And he said, tell me that ain't what it is? And I said, what are you talking about? He caught me out. God, I just been looking around and see nothing, and he said, oh, tell me that ain't somebody there. I said, what are you talking about? Dad? Do you mean somebody there? He said, tell me that guy dead? And I said, what do you mean what guy? And I was looking and I didn't seen no guy, he said, and he stopped when he had me leaned over and was pointing out in front of him. He said, you mean tell me you don't see that guy. You don't see that guy laying there?

44:51 Big for society who will be right back after these messages? And what it was there was a big old tree that had fell, and sure enough it looked like a guy slumped over, laid across it, and you could see him pretty good. He was probably sixty yards from him. And you can see that he was black headed. It looked like he had on a white long sleeve shirt.

45:33 You could see one hand. He was draped almost crossways over it. You could see one hand like it was laid around the wall. See part of his head. His hair was black. You still had on blue jeans, and we hollered. Did nobody move? And Dad's like, what are we going to do? What are we going to do? I said, all we can do is walk up there and see if this guy's actually even dead or night. And if he is, chapter, see if he has a wallet, see who he is, and I guess call the cops. That's okay. And he said, I can't believe this. And we're walking up and we got our eyes on it. Whereas we're going up to it, there's a bunch of briars right there, but where it was, you couldn't walk straight to it, and there was another big tree next to it, and then there was like a little gap in between it where there really wasn't no briers. There's a few, but you could cross through it easy, and we got our eyes on it, got our eyes on it, and at this point we're probably thirty feet twenty five feet from it, and we go around the tree, and soon we go around the tree and break the way.

46:44 We see that log again. Just on the other side of that thick stuff. There's nothing there. There's nothing there at all. There's no guy, there's no nothing. And it was pretty close to the edge of the woods that we could walk out in the field and wouldn't know, didn't have no leaves kick up running because with then twenty twenty five thirty foot of something, somebody would have jumped up. You'd heard him move, you heard him try to take off, running, leave sticks, snamping and crunching, popping. It was none of that. There just wasn't nothing there. And that was pretty incredible. I know it's a pretty incredible sounding story, but that's what ended up getting Dad into this believing that there's more out there than nothing.

47:35 Like I said, he's a Christian, he believes in God, but he didn't believe and know anything other than the Good Lord. He really spiritually wise. He didn't think such thing as spiritual Ufo was or boogfoot or he thought it was just all crazy, But after that day there, it really opened him up. He was pretty much well changed after that. He was a little more accepting of stuff and calling it for what it was. And he's told I don't know how many people that story, and and they'll look at him like people look at me every now and then. Oh yeah, yeah, I bet that's one of these things. And I understand people had to see these things to believe it. But there's just been a lot of weird stuff going out that way and around here period, around Webster County and the surrounding a few counties. I said, lbl's close. The Shawnee Nashville Forest is closed. We're not far from Tennessee, of course, LBL Tennessee, Kentucky.

48:38 But it's just been all kind of wild things go on. That's what turned bad in the believer. There's more out there than what we think there are or is. And that happened before his incident with the sticks getting chucked Adam through the trees. Yes, okay, wow, oh man, Yeah he's been through it too. That's probably been twelve years before. Okay, Yeah, there's something going on in that area that is pretty wild. If I was going out in that area, I think I would have a buddy with me for sure.

49:19 Yes, sir, oh, of course. Growing up here, that's one of things you just you don't think about it, and then when something like that does happen, you're like, oh, man, you be having the will is about it. And then it ain't long but that's left your mind and every now and then to creep in on you. But the most part, people go out in the woods round here. They're going out there for a reason or hunting or hiking about fishing something like that. A lot of times people I have a revolver on them or gout a rifle with them, or they're with somebody. Yeah, I'd say that that is wise for sure. But Kyle, this has been some incredible accounts. And I feel like sometimes I have an interview where it's an introduction to an area, and then once the interview gets out there, it just explodes because everyone else is like, oh, yeah, I've had stuff happen in that area too. I just got a feel in this area is a pretty wild one.

50:18 So we'll see where this one leads. But Kyle, absolutely, Man, I want to say thank you so much for coming on the show, for sharing what you and your dad have experienced over the years, and if you ever need to reach out, if things continue to happen, or if you have something else happened, please feel free to contact me, and I'd love to try to help you at a later time as well. But thank you for being honest and sharing what you've experienced there over the years. Oh yes, sir, and I want thank you for giving me the opportunity to do and everybody else to be able to come on your platform and talk and share about stuff it's went on. And because this is the first one I've ever done like that at all, I ain't never reached out to nobody else or really ever told anybody else this stuff besides people around home. But now I'm sure you'll get some more calls in. I've had people tell me actually finally, it's me telling my accounter to them, not everybody. Most people look at you crazy, like, yeah, it's pretty wild. But every now and then I'll ask somebody to go you know what. I had one come across road at such and such place, freaked me out.

51:32 I kept moving stuff like that. Yeah, I think it's a thing where something happens to you. And I've had this happen to me where stuff happened to me and I was so excited and I was just telling everyone and I lost. There's a few people that think of me as crazy now from the community where they're not into Bigfoot, and there's a few people don't really talk to me a lot anymore. They think I'm not But that's fine, But I get it. You want to make sure that you tell you know your account to someone who can provide a space that's it's a safe space you're not going to be made fun of.

52:14 And yeah, that's what I'm trying to do here. So I'm glad you reached out, Kyle, and I'm hoping people that listen to this reach out as well. But thank you so much for coming. But got back with me. To be honest, I didn't know what to expect. I didn't know if I'm here, back from or up but you answered back pretty quick and I appreciate it absolutely. I really do.
